The Ministry for the Penitentiary Service announced the release of 99 people who were deprived of liberty for participating in the post-election violent events of July 28, 2024.
The entity reported through a statement published on its Instagram account that the national government and the Justice System have made the decision to evaluate each case and grant precautionary measures in accordance with the law. This has allowed the release of 99 citizens as a concrete expression of the State’s commitment to peace, dialogue and justice.
These actions have been promoted by President Nicolás Maduro and are part of the permanent efforts that guarantee unrestricted respect for human rights. “Even those compatriots who, being victims of political and media manipulation, attacked sovereignty, institutional stability and peaceful coexistence,” the text highlights.
The Venezuelan State reiterates that all those deprived of liberty are guaranteed treatment based on respect, legality and comprehensive care. “The Bolivarian Government will continue to work firmly and responsibly for peace, justice and the defense of national sovereignty,” the statement states.
